divisions and the can already discern an even ger difficulty in President-elect Eisenhower's path ahead In the present world situation 1 the main aim and of Eisenhower's policy must be to maintain to strengthen and to stabilize the Western ance Before he can achieve this aim the biggest question hower will have to answer is the Western alliance can be made economically workable It can be said on highest ity that the new President's old friend Prime Minister Winston Churchill now means to press this question in the White House at the earliest possible date after foe inauguration Work Out Plan At this very moment the pre- for Churchill's approach to Eisenhower are going forward here in London in the form of the grandiose Commonwealth Conference Churchill whose lack of interest in economic matters has always been notorious has now entered the battle for and the Commonwealth's ec- stability with the vigor and determination he used tc reserve for shooting wars Prior to the present meeting a drum fire of the famous Churchill minutes red every Whitehall department to make the most vigorous and de- tailed preparations Now with the Commonwealth leaders gathered in London the main hope is to work put the best plan possible to permit the pound sterling to look the almighty dollar in the eye When this wealth plan has been agreed upon Churchill means to go to ton and say to his former com- rade in arms This is what we think we can do Now how about it This question which Churchill will put to Eisenhower is much more urgent than most people pose By heavy sacrifices Britain has now recovered from her third postwar economic crisis Viewed as a business concern Britain is paying her way again Yet the fact remains that the reserves of hard cash which constitute the working capital of Britain and her Com- are still fearfully well under the two billion dollar figure which used to be ed the minimum Fear Recession This means in turn that Britain and the other nations of the ing area are almost totally against any unfavorable jog of the world economy Let a slight American recession reduce our lar purchases of British goods Or let the price of Britain's imports rise a bit more rapidly than the price of British exports Ruin will again stare Britain in the face Britain's reserves today are far lower than they were in the crises of 1947 1949 and 1951 each of which almost plunged this country into final bankruptcy The regular recurrence of these crises has also produced a perilous new psychology Still another is will not merely be ly disastrous it will also be catastrophic For one more crisis is fairly certain to drive the British to give up their hard struggle to maintain them selves as a great world power and our own chief ally No wonder then that Winston Churchill has entered the iar battle for economic stability breathing his old Yet all the great old man's courage and determination will not win this new battle if President-elect Continued on Page 9

Eisenhower for his choice of a secretary of labor day posed the possibility hower could face as rebellious a Congress as those President man had in recent years Congressmen were wondering whether the Ohio senator's bitter denunciation of Eisenhower's lection of Martin P Durkin to the labor called it 1 All-out war between the forces of Eisenhower and Taft in the in- coming Republican tion or 2 A temporary isolated up growing out of Taft's ness toward his own labor relations law Could Be Serious If the answer turns out to be yes to the first question then the result could be the same tration of Eisenhower's tive program that has afflicted many of Truman's proposals Throughout the Truman tration conservative Southern ators have joined with Republicans to block most Fair Deal tic legislation The few Republican senators at the Capitol today were ly wary about stepping into any potential struggle between the President-elect and Taft But there were straws in the wind Some GOP senators were hoping Taft's denunciation of the Durkin appointment was tied chiefly to the senator's concern for ance of the basic principles of the law Taft's blistering statement em- that Durkin was a union official and a Democrat who op- posed Eisenhower But it also stressed that he advocated the repeal of the law Agrees to Minor Changes The Ohioan has indicated ness to go along with minor changes in the law favored by Eisenhower and union leaders But he has made unmistakably clear that he wants no tampering with what he considers the essentials Some Senate sources were of the opinion that Taft's next moves on taking over the Republican Senate majority leader post would show whether he really planned a showdown fight with hower If Taft moves openly to grab that key job it would be highly significant these sources agree A president must consult regularly with the majority leader to over his legislative program Taft has pronounced himself as available for the job but he said at a news conference here after the Nov 4 election he was not campaigning for it Senators at the Capitol were tain Taft has become increasingly irritated in the last 10 days at the trend of Eisenhower appointments The Ohioan said he was asked to submit recommendations for Cabinet jobs and did so But he has let it be known that not one of his first choices was selected In contrast some of the Cabinet selections and White House staff were close associates of Thomas E Dewey Taft's in GOP affairs for years Sought Assurances At the famous Morningside Heights conference ia September one of the points Taft emphasized most was that he had been given assurances there would be no discrimination against his supporters in appointments in the Eisenhower administration Mrs A H Kerr third from left

victims had been high in Communist party councils giving the trial appearance of a climax of a gle for power between Slansky and President Klement Gottwald But the anti-Zionist tone of the indicated
